Um Ji-sung Leads Swansea to Second Straight Win with Goal and Assist in Consecutive Matches

National team forward Um Ji-sung (Swansea City), who is set to compete in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, has shown stellar form by recording one goal and one assist for the second consecutive match.

Um recorded one goal and one assist in the 2026-2027 English Championship (second tier) Round 4 match against Watford held at the Swansea.com Stadium in Swansea, Wales, today (September 2, Korean time), leading Swansea City to a 2-0 victory.

Having led Swansea to a 3-0 victory by picking up one goal and one assist in the previous round's away match against Derby County, Um has now recorded attacking points in two straight games.

This season, Um has accumulated 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 official matches.

Starting for the second consecutive match, Um scored the opening goal just 8 minutes into the game.

Adam Idah dribbled past Watford's defense and passed toward the front of the goal, and Um found the back of the net with a right-footed shot.

Um combined with Idah for another goal in the 29th minute of the first half.

As Um delivered a sharp through pass from the halfway line, Idah finished it with a right-footed shot to score the additional goal.

Displaying an outstanding performance as a left winger, Um played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.

Um has been selected as a wildcard for the Asian Games national team led by manager Lee Min-sung.

South Korea's first group-stage match in the Asian Games men's football tournament will be against Qatar on the 15th.
